BACKGROUND ART

It is known that STING (Stimulation of Interferon Genes) is an endoplasmic reticulum localized type four-transmembrane protein and is involved in innate immunity. When foreign double-stranded DNAs appear in cytoplasm due to infection or the like, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is activated and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) is synthesized. This cGAMP binds to STING on endoplasmic reticulum and induces type I interferon (iFN) production. On the other hand, it is known that cyclic dinucleotides such as cyclic Di-GMP, which were first identified as a second messenger of bacteria and later confirmed to also exist in mammals, also directly bind to STING and activate it (Non-Patent Literature 1).

Furthermore, STING is also known to be involved in autoimmune diseases and tumor immunity. For example, it has been indicated that abnormal host DNAs leak from the nucleus and activate STING to induce pro-inflammatory responses, which have been implicated in autoimmune disease. The STING pathway also detects tumor-derived DNAs and promotes T cell responses to tumors. It is known that a STING agonistic compound administered to mouse tumors induces adaptive immune response to cause tumor regression (Non-Patent Literature 2), and that an activating molecule of the STING pathway enhances IFN production and exhibits antiviral effects. (Non-Patent Literature 3).

Heretofore, as STING agonist compounds, the compounds which are so-called cyclic dimerized nucleic acids as disclosed in Patent Literatures 1 to 3 and non-cyclic dimerized nucleic acids as disclosed in Patent Literatures 4 to 7 have been reported. However, no STING agonist compound having a structure like the compound of the present invention has been reported.

Example 13: Activity on THP1-Dual-STING KO Cells

STING gene homozygous deficient THP1-Dual cells (THP1-Dual-STING KO cells (Invivogen) were suspended in RPMI medium to prepare 2×10⁶ cells/mL cell suspension. 50 μL of cell suspensions were dispensed into a 96-well plate, to which 50 μL of 6 to 20.00 nM compound solutions were further added, followed by incubation at 37° C. for about 24 hours. 10 μL of the cell suspensions were collected from the respective wells, which were mixed with 50 μL of Quanti-luc (Invivogen), and then the activity of the IRF pathway was measured by detecting luminescence using a microplate reader.

The compound of the present invention shown in Example 1 showed no IRF activating effect. Therefore, it was shown that the IRF activating effect of the compound of the present invention exemplified in Example 1 is based on the agonistic activity on STING by the compound of the present invention.

Example 14: Evaluation of IDO1 Inhibitory Activity

The evaluation of IDO1 inhibitory activity was carried out using the IDO1 Fluorogenic Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit (BPS Bioscience). Specifically. IDO1 Fluorogenic Reaction Solution was dissolved, of which 180 μL were added to each well. Then, 10 μL of compounds at the respective concentrations of 0.6, 2, 6, 20, 60 and 200 μmoL/L were added thereto. Further, after adding 10 μL of IDO1 His-Tag solution thereto, of which the mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, and then 20 μL of Fluorescence Solution was added thereto, of which the mixtures were incubated at 37° C. for 4 hours. After standing them at room temperature for 10 minutes, the fluorescence was measured using a microplate reader (excitation: 400 nm, emission: 510 nm).

The compound of the present invention shown in Example 1 did not show any IDO1 inhibitory activity.

Example 15: Evaluation of Inhibitory Activity Against Various Kinases

4 μmol/L of test substance solution (the compound of the present invention shown in Example 1)(at 4 times the final concentration) was prepared by dissolving it to the assay buffer (20 mmol/L HEPES, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1 mmol/L DTT, pH 7.5). 4 μmol/L of substrate/ATP/metal solution (at 4 times the final concentration) was prepared by dissolving them to the kit buffer (20 mmol/L HEPES, 0.01% Triton X-100, 5 mmol/L DTT, pH 7.5). Various kinase solutions at twice the final concentration were prepared by dissolving them to the assay buffer. 5 μL of the test substance solution, 5 μL of the substrate/ATP/metal solution and 10 μL of the kinase solution were mixed in wells of a polypropylene 384-well plate, of which the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 1 to 5 hours. The reaction was stopped by adding 70 μL of the termination buffer (QuickScout Screening Assist MSA; Carna Biosciences). The substrate peptide and phosphorylated peptide in the reaction solution were separated and quantified by LabChip system (Perkin Elmer). The kinase reaction was evaluated by the product ratio (P/(P+S)) calculated from the peak height (S) of the substrate peptide and the peak height (P) of the phosphorylated peptide. The various kinases used for evaluation are as follows:

BTK. KDR, each subtype of PKCα to ι, each CDK of CDK2 to 9, FAK, TIE2, RAFI and BRAF.

The compound of the present invention shown in Example 1 did not showed any significantly inhibit activities against any of the evaluated kinases.

Example 16: Evaluation of Anti-Tumor Effect in Tumor Model Bearing Subcutaneous Mouse Colon Cancer Cell Line MC38

Colon cancer cell line MC38 derived from C57/BL6 mice were subcutaneously transplanted to right flank of syngeneic mice (C57/BL6, female, 6 weeks old (Charles River Japan)) (herein, the day of transplantation was Day 0) to prepare tumor mice bearing subcutaneous MC38. Seven days after transplantation, tumor mice bearing subcutaneous MC38 were grouped based on tumor volume, and used as the Vehicle group (n=8) and the compound administration group (3 mg/kg, n=6) shown in Example 1. The changes in tumor volume were continuously measured until the 26 days after transplantation (Day 26). The tumor volume was calculated by the following formula:

[Tumor volume (mm)]=[major axis (mm)]×[minor axis (mm)]²×0.5

FIG. 1 showed its results.

The compound represented in Example 1 almost completely suppressed the tumor growth at the dose of 3 mg/kg.

Example 17: Evaluation of Anti-Tumor Effect in Tumor Model Bearing Subcutaneous Mouse Colon Cancer Cell Line MC38

Colon cancer cell line MC38 derived from C57BL6 mice were subcutaneously transplanted to right flank of syngeneic mice (C57/13L6, female, 6 weeks old (Charles River Japan)) (herein, the day of transplantation was Day 0) to prepare tumor mice bearing subcutaneous MC38. They were grouped based on tumor volume 7 or 8 days after transplantation, to which the Vehicle (n=8 or 6) and the respective compounds of Examples 10 and 10(1) to 10(6) (1, 1, 1, 10, 3, 1 and 1 mg/kg, n=8 or 6) were administered. The changes in tumor volume were measured serially until the 28 or 30 days after transplantation (Day 28 or 30). The tumor volume was calculated from the formula shown in Example 16.

FIGS. 2 and 3 showed their results.

All the compounds represented in Examples 10 and 10(1) to 10(6) suppressed tumor growth at the above doses. That is, in the groups to which the respective compounds represented in Examples 10 and 10(1) to 10(6) were administered, the median tumor volumes were less than 500 mm³ even 30 days after transplantation.
